Color Calligraphy Projects

Manda Hanson · 1995
95/100
👍 Worth It

Color Calligraphy Projects is a mid-1990s activity kit for children ages 7–9, bundling a calligraphy pen with two nibs, a paintbrush, watercolor and gold paint, stencils, templates, and 16 pages of colored paper alongside 48 pages of instruction. The all-in-one format is the real draw — kids can open the box and start creating immediately without sourcing supplies separately. Instructions cover illuminating letters, stenciling cards, and creating decorative borders, treating calligraphy as a genuine art form rather than a novelty. The honest caveat for used copies is significant: kit components may be missing or degraded. This is a hard item to evaluate without inspecting the physical condition. For a complete copy in good shape, it remains a creative and skill-building find for the right young artist.
